Without the picture it’s hard to say, what it actually is, but in majority cases it is due to cheek biting by wisdom teeth. Kindly consult the nearby dentist or you can visit Us at Kandhari smile Studio

Dear don't worry. If it is not causing any pain then it's absolutely normal. If it persist for a longer time then consult a doctor. It can occur due to cheek bite..
